Help finding wheel bolt pattern adapters

[Jordannn15]

I have a 2018 Mustang GT and had bought wheels for a different car but ended up selling the other car so I’d like to use the wheels on my Mustang instead. The wheels I have are 18x9 et24 with a bolt pattern of 5x120 and hub bore of 74.1mm.

I’m trying to find hub centric adapters that will allow me to go from the Mustangs bolt pattern of 5x114.3 and hub bore of 70.5mm to the bolt pattern and hub bore of the wheels I have.

If anyone can link me some quality adapters that would be very much appreciated!

search the net, but I wouldn't do it if you can avoid it.
I know this will start a storm and I have used adapters and spacers but I avoid it if I can.

Even though you can find them (coyote accessories sells them), it's not really gonna work or look right. You'll need a 1" adapter, which will push your wheels to essentially a 0 offset. That will stick out past the fenders like a sore thumb. You'll need some crazy camber to tuck them in, which is kinda pointless to do all that work for some 9" wheels up front when there's many cheap options for proper fitting wheels.

Honestly you’re better off selling those wheels and getting a set with the correct bolt pattern. As mentioned above, the adapter is going to throw your offsets off. There’s lots of options out there, hub rings are better than adapters if you find a set that isn’t the right hub bore.

Are there no adapters that are less than an inch thick? I don’t really need spacers, just some thin ones to convert the bolt pattern.

I kinda figured I would be better off selling and getting different wheels but its always hard to sell expensive wheels and not lose a bunch of money.

You have to have an adapter that covers your old studs and puts the new studs in the proper location.

Take a wheel off the car and push the wheel to the studs. That’s around where they would sit.

You can probably get Mustang rims to fit those tires for dirt cheap though so I wouldn’t put much money into those proper(hard to find?) spacers.

Well there has to be enough "meat" in the spacer for the new studs to be pressed in...so that usually limits these adapters to a minimum of about an inch or so. You won't find those in smaller thicknesses.

That makes sense, I’ll just forget about the spacers then and just try to sell the wheels and buy different ones after. Thanks for the information.
